In 1988, family and friends of people living with ALS formed the ALS Society of NL. Each year the Society raises funds to provide services and support for people and their families living with ALS in our province. Volunteers across Newfoundland and Labrador have come together to organize walks and provide you with the opportunity to take part and get together with others who have been affected by ALS.
Your fundraising efforts and generous donations support the best ALS research in the country and enable ALS Societies to provide community-based support to people and families living with the disease. Forty percent of proceeds are directed to the ALS Canada Research Program where they are invested in the best ALS research in Canada awarded annually following a peer-reviewed competition. Sixty percent of proceeds directly benefit your provincial ALS Society, enabling it to provide community-based support to people affected by ALS. Support varies by province based on the gaps within the healthcare system and can include educational information, referrals to local health care and community services, equipment assistance, home visits and support groups.
A BIG thank you to our Walk Co-ordinators, our ALS families & friends.
